Chaves owns a company called Spazio Marble and Granite in Lake Worth, and he recognized Marhefka as a customer who came in to buy granite for the kitchen she never got.

Chaves and his wife decided they had to do something, so they've offered to build a kitchen for Marhefka, and they're not going to charge her a thing.

"Not a penny," Chaves said. "We don't want anything from her. We just want to help her out."

Chaves called Marhefka and made his offer over the phone. She called him Santa Claus and thanked him repeatedly. The moment she hung up the phone, Marhefka started crying.

"I can't believe it," Marhefka said with tears streaming down her face. "First good thing that happened in 10 months. I never thought anything like that would ever happen, never dreamed anyone would come through with that."

Chaves told Marhefka she'll have her new kitchen by Christmas.
